Sort of OT - a conundrum - help me!

[samus]

This situation just came up, and I don't know what to do. And I thought I'd add some intrigue (or something) to the BBS. ^_^

Okay, as some of you know, I'm on staff at Otakon. I'm second-in-command of the Press/Publicity department (there are 4 of us total). My boss, the Dept Head, wanted to have a little Departmental meeting to set in motion/outline our goals/ideas for Otakon 2004 at the November staff meeting on the 22nd. The meeting date had been provisional, but it was just confirmed today. Unfortunately, I wasn’t paying attention.

Last week, I pre-registered (paid in full) for the Anime USA, which occurs from 21st – 23rd November. One of my good friends is almost certain to come to Anime USA, and that would be so excellent if she went – she’s not otaku, but likes anime, and it would be her first con. Also I know others from Otakon staff that are going, and I know some staff at Anime USA. So it will probably be a good fun social weekend – opportunity to see a few familiar faces, meet new ones, socialise, and see anime and other events. It is very close to my home.

But then, there are my responsibilities at Otakon.. I noted that my other two colleagues in the Press/Publicity Department are on the pre-registration list of Anime USA, which would probably make my presence at the Otakon staff meeting more pressing (or less pressing, depending on how you see it).The meeting is also a time to socialise and catch up with my staff friends. The location is pretty far from my home.

If I had a lower sense of responsibility, I wouldn't have a hard time to decide. So what do I do? Have a weekend of fun, or go to a one-day staff meeting? Fun or responsibility? *_*;; Tasukete onegaishimasu!

Sorry for clogging up the boards, but I really don’t know what to do!

Well i'd say go to the con but then i'm not the most responsible of people when the responsibility interferes with me having fun ^^;;

*nodding* Ah soo desu...

Well, I have compiled the opinions of my friends and it seems that everyone is in favour of me going to Anime USA rather than go to an Otakon Staff meeting. And my friend and her sister have confirmed their intention to be at the con, therefore it's cemented my presence at the con as well. To be honest I was leaning towards the fun option myself. ^_^ Ta!
